65. Vegetarian pork ribs
Just when Ningxi's Sungai fried chicken business was expanding step by step, no one knew that behind the crowd, there was a pair of resentful eyes, staring at her fast food truck.
That person is Li Shaoming, the young owner of the original Pin Xianju.
Although Li Shaoming is the son-in-law of the family, his own mother is weak by nature, and can neither get the favor of Master Li, nor can he be in charge of things at home, so he is tired of Li Shaoming not being favored at home since he was a child.
Unexpectedly, not long after taking over Pinxianju, a Shuangxi Building was opened on the opposite door, which not only pressed his Pinxianju everywhere and everywhere, but also caused Pinxianju to close for three months, and finally caused Pinxianju to close its doors completely.
For this reason, Master Li was completely disappointed in Li Shaoming, and even said that the Li family's property would only be handed over to his second brother, the little mongrel born to the aunt who was good at competing for favor.
From then on, Li Shaoming hated Ning Xi to the core, and vowed never to let her have such a good time.
Therefore, when he saw that Ningxi's fast food truck team was thriving and growing, and at the same time found that there was another group of people quietly watching Ningxi, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In the afternoon of the same day, Li Shaoming appeared in front of a luxurious mansion: "I want to see President Cao." ”
"Where did you come from, bastard, how can Master Cao be what you want to see?"
"I have something very important to see President Cao, please help me and inform me." Li Shaoming took out a small ingot of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into the porter's hand, and the porter weighed the silver in his hand, with a look of hesitation on his face.
"What's going on?" A soft sedan chair embroidered with gold and silver threads, extremely luxurious, stopped at the door, and a slender jade hand lifted the sedan curtain, and it was vaguely seen that there was an extremely beautiful young woman inside.
The porter's face was happy: "Miss Han, this person said that he has something important to find President Cao." ”
The woman surnamed Han looked Li Shaoming up and down, and said softly: "Let him come in!" ”
On this day, a very flamboyant female guest came to Sungai Lou, and as soon as she got off her extremely luxurious carriage, a maid stepped forward and spread a layer of white velvet blanket at her feet, and the narrow velvet blanket stretched forward until it reached the door of one of the best private rooms in Sungai Lou.
A veritable beauty indeed.
The tables and chairs in Sungai House were always clean, and the utensils used were all elegant and clean, but the places where the woman sat had to be replaced with cushions that she had brought herself, and the cups on the table had been replaced with those they were accustomed to at home.
The guy in charge of taking care of this private room complained about this: "No matter how you pretend, you are just a merchant girl, can you still become a daughter?" ”
Meng Shuangshuang heard a little from this complaint: "Do you know who this woman is? ”
Those guys smiled disdainfully: "Who in this capital doesn't know her, Han Siyan, originally she was just a little drama from a pear orchard, but somehow she got the blue eyes of Master Cao and accepted her as a righteous daughter, so she thought that she had flown on the branches and became a phoenix." ”
"Then who is Master Cao?"
"Master Cao, that's terrible, the president of the National Federation of Imperial Merchants, if you want to talk about money, no one dares to admit the first when he recognizes the second in the whole week, that business can be big, it is said that the business all over the country, five or six out of ten, but it is their Cao family."
Meng Shuangshuang was speechless: "It turns out that the Cao family is so powerful?" ”
The two of them were gossiping in a low voice, and Ning Xi coldly threw out a sentence behind him: "Since people are so big, why don't you go to greet them, and still have time to hide here and gossip?" I don't think you want any bonuses this month! ”
The guy was full of excitement: "Ning Dongjia, don't be angry, this is not picky, as long as your own people serve, you will drive us out!" ”
Ning Xi said angrily: "Then why don't you want to think about it, why do people think that you are not good enough?" Why don't you hurry over and see what the guests are going to eat. ”
"Yes, yes, the small one will pass."
Who knew that it didn't take long for this guy to come back to Ning Xi with a sad face: "This woman is too picky, we still can't wait!" ”
Ning Xi raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?" ”
This woman said that she was a vegetarian and couldn't serve any meat dishes, but the villain recommended the vegetarian dishes on our menu, but she was all disgusted and bland, saying that she wanted to eat meat from the vegetarian dishes. You say you want to eat meat, you can eat meat, what is hypocrisy, you have to be vegetarian. ”
Meng Shuangshuang rolled up his sleeves: "This person came here on purpose, I'm going to call Miss An out and give her some color!" ”
An Mingyue, who was struggling to cut diced radish in the back kitchen, suddenly felt that her nose was itchy and sneezed loudly.
Ning Xi pressed Meng Shuangshuang: "Don't be impatient, I think this cold girl has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and it will never be as simple as coming to make things difficult, probably because she wants to explore our reality." ”
Meng Shuangshuang said: "Then what do you say we should do?" ”
Ning Xi said: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the soil, she wants to eat the meat from the vegetarian dishes, then let's just make it for her." ”
Meng Shuangshuang nodded: "Yes, you must not let people look down on you." ”
Ning Xi said to the guy: "You go and tell the Han girl, your Ning Dong family will personally take action, make her a vegetarian banquet, and let her be patient and wait!" ”
"Yes, Ning Dongjia." The guy answered, and trotted all the way back.
Meng Shuangshuang followed Ning Xi into the small kitchen with great interest: "Ning Xi, then what are you going to do for her?" ”
"Didn't she say that if she wants to eat meat, she has to be a vegetarian, so let's give her a hand to fake it."
Ning Xi found flour, mushrooms, radish, soybeans, lotus root and other ingredients, and began to move, steaming and kneading, the originally scattered ingredients gradually took shape under Ning Xi's hands, Meng Shuangshuang's eyes widened: "Oh my God, isn't this really something you secretly replaced?" Are these beautiful ribs and carp really just made from flour? ”
Ning Xi smiled: "Hurry up and let someone serve the food!" ”
In the private room, Han Siyan looked at these dishes that had just been delivered and were still steaming, and he was so angry that his eyebrows rose: "Didn't I tell you?" I'm only a vegetarian, what's the matter, the donkey skills are exhausted, so you have to get these meat dishes to fool me? ”
"Miss Han, these are really vegetarian dishes that our Ning Dong family has personally renovated, and there is no trace of meat and fish, and not half a drop of meat oil has been added."
If it weren't for the strict rules of her godfather Cao Liwen, she would have eaten it regardless of meat or vegetarian food: "You listen to me, if I am allowed to eat a little meat in this dish, I will never spare you." ”
After that, she stretched out her chopsticks to the braised pork ribs that had attracted her for a long time and had attracted her for a long time, picked up a piece of pork ribs and took a bite gently, the outer layer was crispy, the inner layer was fresh and tender, and there was a thick gravy bursting between the teeth, sweet and sour.
Even if she had never eaten much meat, she knew that it should never be the delicious taste of a vegetarian dish.
Han Siyan's face changed: "You dare to say that you didn't lie to me?" This is clearly the real ribs! The guy who served the food was so frightened that his legs and feet were weak, and he didn't know what to do, when a crisp female voice came from outside the door: "How can the eldest lady of the Cao family be so indiscriminate?" Is it really pork ribs, won't you know if you eat it again? ”
Han Siyan glanced at the girl who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old when she just came in, and sneered: "Your Shuangxi Building is too unruly, any child dares to talk to a guest like this?" ”
Ning Xi clenched his fists with both hands: "Don't dare, the contemptible person is Ning Xi, the owner of this Shuangxi Building, and the table of dishes in front of the girl is also from the hands of the contemptible person, and I also ask the eldest lady of the Cao family to advise." ”
Han Siyan was stunned: "You are Ningxi?" It is undeniable that Ning Xi's sentence "Miss Cao Family" pleased her, she softened her expression, took another bite of her heart, and the ribs in the middle broke off in response to her teeth.
Han Siyan chewed slowly a few times, and asked suspiciously, "This is a lotus root?" ”
Ning Xi nodded: "Exactly." Wash the lotus root and cut it into small strips, insert it into the hollowed out inner fritters, fry it on both sides until crispy, and season it with the hawthorn juice mixed with the sauce. ”
Without waiting for her to answer, Ning Xi continued to introduce the dishes sent to her one by one: "This dish of fried eel with bamboo shoots, the eel is replaced by shredded shiitake mushrooms; Deep-fried fish is made with soybeans and mashed yams; Pigeon eggs are imitated by mixing mung bean flour with water; Crab roe is made by steaming carrots and potatoes into a puree and stir-frying; There is also this carp leaping dragon gate, which is boiled and stirred into taro minced with taro, kneaded into the shape of carp, fried crispy in an oil pan, and then seasoned with a variety of sauces. Invite the cold girl to taste. ”
Han Siyan didn't speak, she ate one bite after another, and in the surprised eyes of everyone next to her, she burst into tears, and the maid she brought asked anxiously, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”
Han Siyan suddenly laughed "haha": "I finally ate meat, I finally ate meat without angering my godfather, it turns out that the meat is really delicious." Then he began to eat without any image.
In the end, she actually swept away all the plates on the table by herself, burped, stroked her high stomach and said, "Godfather really didn't lie to me, Ning Dongjia, your craftsmanship is indeed a must." ”
Ning Xi looked at her for a long time: "Since everything that should be eaten has been eaten, can Miss Han tell me why you came to our Shuangxi Building?" ”
